my analysis of my own experiences is that weed smoothens your emotions. the lows are higher and the highs are lower. but then again, I’ve never dealt with major anxiety beyond a few brief stints
however, I would be extremely shocked if cigarettes and alcohol are better for it than weed. cigarettes are basically buying yourself low-level intermittent anxiety, and alcohol, unless you’re a genuine alcoholic, is just a rollercoaster of ups and downs that will likely result in future memories for you to be anxious about. that’s my experience anyway
probably more effective than trusting ublock is to find an obscure method. ublock is too much of an easy target for google. on the flipside, something obscure is possibly harder to trust
The hip joint is pretty isolated from the rest of the body I assume, I had the same question for my surgeon and he told me there was no way for that to happen.
Aren’t there any antibacterial sprays or devices they can leave behind? What if antibodies were extracted from the patient’s blood before surgery then sprayed on at the end of the operation?
we should be careful making the assumption that this is all the data they exfiltrated. this could easily just be the first tranche to prove that they’re serious
> Introduced in June of 2017, the act amends the Revenue Code to allow private foundations to take complete ownership of a for-profit corporation under certain circumstances:
The business must be owned by the private foundation through 100 percent ownership of the voting stock.
The business must be managed independently, meaning its board cannot be controlled by family members of the foundation’s founder or substantial donors to the foundation.
All profits of the business must be distributed to the foundation.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but didn't Mozilla Foundation do that a dozen or so years earlier with their wholly owned subsidiary, Mozilla Corporation? (...and I doubt that's the first instance; just the one that immediately popped into my head.)
It begs the question: why was OpenAI structured this way? For what purposes besides potentially defrauding investors and the government exist for wrapping a for-profit business in a nonprofit? From a governance standpoint it makes no sense, because a nonprofit board doesn't have the same legal obligations to represent shareholders that a for-profit business does. And why did so many investors choose to seed a business that was playing such a cooky shell game?
the impression I got was that they started out with honest intentions and they were more or less infiltrated by Microsoft. this recent news fits that narrative
if you think it’s impossible with computers then surely you must have a reason why computers are operationally incapable of doing the same as flesh and blood
nothing I’ve seen from OpenAI is any indication that they’re close to AGI. gpt models are basically a special matrix transformation on top of a traditional neural network running on extremely powerful hardware trained on a massive dataset. this is possibly more like “thinking” than a lot of people give it credit for, but it’s not an AGI, and it’s not an AGI precursor either. it’s just the best applied neural networks that we currently have
As a layperson, what does the special matrix transformation do? Is that the embeddings thing, or something else entirely? Something about transformer architecture I guess?
